Five sent to hospital after Furnace Brook Parkway crash

QUINCY - Five people, including two children, were sent to the hospital Monday night after two cars crashed head-on on Furnace Brook Parkway.

The road was closed in both directions for more than an hour starting at 6 p.m. Monday as State Police documented the scene and firefighters used hydraulic equipment to rip open a Lexus and pull the driver out. The crash remained under investigation Tuesday morning and none of the drivers had been cited.

Quincy Deputy Fire Chief Edward Fenby said it appeared that the Lexus was heading toward the beach when it clipped a motorcycle and collided head-on with an Acura. State Police said the driver of the Lexus, 27-year-old Matthew Hui of Quincy, was brought to Massachusetts General Hospital with serious injuries after firefighters were able to remove him from the car.

A woman driving the Acura, 35-year-old Samantha Everton of Braintree, and two children who were riding with her in the car were brought to Boston Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, according to State Police. The motorcyclist, 71-year-old Thomas Barker of Walpole, was brought to Quincy Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

Fenby said a sixth person involved in the crash refused treatment at the scene and was not taken to the hospital.
